- yongsun's pov –

The rest of the week went by in a blink of an eye. We basically just lived our life as a normal couple. We bickered and teased each other as usual, it all felt so natural. Busan became a special place in my heart, a place where 'us' solidified.

"Do we have to go home?" I whined as byul got our tickets to go back to seoul. My arms wrapped around her waist from the behind and took gentle bites against her neck.

"Our comeback is literally in three days yongsun, we should be practicing but I manage to score us an extra day here. Also, you've been so touchy lately. I thought you didn't like PDA." She turned to me and wrapped her arms firmly around my waist as my hands automatically moved to her neck. My lips formed a pout as I stared at her sunglasses covered eyes, "fine, no more." With that being said, I started to move my body away from moonbyul. As I expected, she quickly pulled me back. I giggled uncontrollably, I love it when she's like this.

We made our way to the train and took our seats. Byulie felt asleep as soon as the train started to move. She must be tired since she's been doing everything she can to take care of me, being a hopeless romantic. Her head leaned against my shoulder as she drifted into her dream world. I let out a content sigh, kissing the top of her head. God, I really love this girl.

I turned my phone on for the first time today, what welcomed me were messages from eric;

Oh my god, what have I gotten myself into. To be honest, I am scared. Eric has changed from this man who was loving, caring and sweet into this psychotic monster. I can tell he is abusive and selfish. Well, news flash, I am not his, I was never his. We just signed an agreement for a business venture. As I thought about this agreement, I remembered in my email there was a copy of our contract.

Hmm... 'The contract is a non-disclosure agreement that will protect both parties. The relationship between both parties will be established to collaborate for a year. Within the year, the two parties must partake public events, socials, any appearances as a couple. The parties will split the profit 1:1. If either party break off the agreement/partnership, the other person will obtain 50% of violator's performance income (university events, concerts, etc) for a year...' My eyes widened as a group of dark clouds hovered over my chest, making me hard to breath. "I really screwed myself this time..." I murmured, letting out a defeated sigh.

We arrived back in Seoul around 5PM. Even though both me and byul didn't want to leave each other's side, we had things to take care of separately. For me, I had to face that man. Byul dropped me off at my apartment. She insisted to walk me to my door, such a romantic. "Just one text or call and I'm here. Okay?" She said quietly as she leaned against me, backing me against the door of my apartment.

"I know. I know." I smiled widely, it was hard for me to hide that. We shared a few more kisses before she left my place to go back to her own.

I unpacked, started the laundry, and tried to do anything else other than calling that man over. But in the end, I had to gather courage to face this mistake I made, for byul and for us.

My mind was uneasy as I sat on my couch, I couldn't stop fidgeting my fingers as my feet continued to tap against the floor. I have never felt like this before. Calm down, yongsun. I'm sure eric is still a good guy. He will understand.

Ding dong. My eyes stared at the door, I hesitated. It wasn't until he knocked that I walked over to unlock the door for him.

"Hi babe." He walked in, welcoming with a hug. What the fuck? I pushed him off instantly. What is wrong with him.
